[Q] While fixing my screen I broke this, phone still working - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my phone's screen was not working. I bought a new screen and while installing it I accidentally broke the part highlighted below on my motherboard. Can anyone tell me what this part is.

I have reassembled it and it is working as expected, but I just wanted to check what I have damaged.

I think that's for the NFC? Don't quote me but I believe it would be so since the back over has the contacts. I could be wrong though

I don't think so. Take a look at this photo from iFixit's Nexus 4 teardown. From what I've understood, those four squared contacts in the middle on the left side are for NFC. Furthermore, looking at the other contacts in the back, I doubt the highlighted part is a contact.
NB: Red parts should be links, but I haven't reached my 10-post minimum yet. I'll fix it asap but for now just search 'iFixit Nexus 4 Teardown' on Google and scroll down to step 8, it's the first photo.
Sorry for quoting anyway buddy..

lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??
I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

LOL nice.
I actually have the same issue, and ended up in this thread. I'm just gonna live with it, not a big spot in my case.

What to do when one of your HTC letters on back cover falls off.

Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.
i dont get it

I peeled mine off too once H came off. It looks better this way.

Oh look, one of these threads again. What is this, the fifth time this question had been asked?
not here, bought it a week ago.
I dont have anything like that!!!
Thats some rest from the manufacturing process. Nothing to worry about, I have that aswell.
not here either, bought mine in january.
Not on mine either. Bought in first wave.

As long as it doesn't affect the performance of the phone it nothing to worry about. Besides it doesn't seem like it's neither major nor a minor issue.
It's just from the mold

i deffinetly have that same line , i never noticed it intill looking closer , its not really visible intill you're in/under a really bright area/light.
btw purchased my nexus in February (arrived around the 22nd of Feb)
This has been discussed many many many times. Its a manufacturing mark some have it some don't. I have it and mine came in November.

Looks pretty much undamaged, what a durability! : DDDDDD
The funny part is that the phone still was receiving notifications until the battery was dead and the notification light was still working The lift is weigh about 6000 kg (A big one)
I just realized how much I love my phone Accidents happen - be careful next time

And here I thought when I saw the 'pickup truck running over an Xperia Active' that smartphones are becoming sturdier..
They should change the rolled over test from a truck to a lift
But seriously, 6 tons?? A smartphone would have to be made of diamond or something to withstand that.
Clearly you did not have a screen protector on it... shame on you
The magic question is... are going with the same color?

Nice

Those who have S7s already, any hardware quirks/flaws to look out for?

My S7 Edge is coming tomorrow and I'm always paranoid about things like stuck pixels, dead pixels etc. Have any of you noticed anything that would make you want to exchange for another device?
Yeah. My S7 has way too many pixels. [emoji23]
Sent from my SM-N920W8 using Tapatalk
got my s7 last wednesday and i absolutely love it!
no dead pixels, vibrator is strong, buttons work well and are responsive, speaker sounds fine, and the glass front/back are perfectly clear, not a scratch on it. And the Titanium Silver color is beautiful! I really don't want to put a case on it!!
Samsung has never let me down in terms of hardware flaws out-of-the-box.

No issues yet. Only quirk is installing apps. I Cannot find the option to disable "allow Google to regularly scan".

I dont know, maybe the glue or any protection more than normal, see this vĂ­deo bellow, 3:38 second and you will see, all s7 edge have a green tone when have in a white image, for me it's annoying and is why I won't buy that model, I love the edge but this feature/annoying thing for me it's impossible, I constantly see and see the problem.
